Faculty
The Family Foundation School employs over three-dozen educational professionals, counsellors and support staff, and maintains a 4:1 student-teacher ratio. About half of the school's faculty and staff members have been through a twelve-step recovery process.
The school's English and Philosophy instructor and middle school principal, Jan Cheripko, is the author of nine books, has won numerous national and international book awards and has been a featured speaker at the National Council of Teachers of English, the International Reading Association, and numerous other New York State and Northeastern U.S. regional education conferences. He has also conducted graduate teaching accredited workshops on how to reach at-risk students through writing and literature.
